Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

The saint catherine foundation in london, united kingdom, a charitable foundation whose purposes are similar to that of the american associates of the st. Catherine foundation: through their intercession with the monastery and the egyptian government, the monastery agreed to participate at the african & byzantium exhibition at the metropolitan museum of art in New York city by loaning historic icons and rare illuminated manuscripts from the monastery of saint catherine in sinai, egypt for this exhibition. Through these efforts, the museum agreed to our request to host a fundraising reception at the museum to coincide with this exhibition. The board decided to make a grant to the saint catherine foundation equal to half to the net proceeds of this fundraiser held in early february of 2024 in recognition of their efforts.
